Polk's Location Lures Growth (Polk County Rail Hub)

Polk's Location Lures Growth

Construction of any portion of the Heartland Parkway is years away, if at all. Yet CSX wants to open its rail hub within the next three years. An increasing number of local governments in Polk say the project is moving too fast, with little thought being given to the regional impact of building a virtually industrial city in a largely rural, residential area. There are also the up to 1,150 projected daily truck trips on S.R. 60 and other highways and sharply increased train traffic through the heart of cities such as Lakeland. -- Tampa Tribune
